Honoring Juneteenth and Uncovering East Africa’s Forgotten Slave Trade
In this powerful and soul-stirring episode, the Ladies of SOSA take a deep dive into the lesser-known history of the East African slave trade—a system that lasted centuries and reshaped entire communities from Sudan to Zanzibar.
We explore the African side of the story:
- How coastal cities became hubs for enslaved people,
- The complex roles played by Arab traders and local chiefs,
- And how this history connects to modern-day exploitation through systems like kafala in the Arab world today.
We also reflect on the transatlantic slave trade, drawing connections between freedom struggles across the Black world—and the importance of Juneteenth as a global reminder that freedom has always been fought for, not freely given.
Join us as we untangle the legacy of slavery across continents, reclaim forgotten stories, and hold space for healing, truth, and transformation.
